Hi,
I just accidentally deleted a file in a shared folder on my TS-879 Pro. I checked the @Recycle folder via FileStation but it's empty.
The network recycle bin is enabled in the system settings with a 30 day retention period and the settings for the shared folder also confirm that the recycle bin is enabled.
What am I missing?
Firmware 4.3.6.1663
Cheers,
frank

Re: network recycle bin not working
If you deleted a whole share..the recycle bin would not help
if the "delete files" was not ticked, you can recreate the share and manually look for the storage location
otherwise..backups have should be done

I don't know what that has to do with my question? A single file on that share was deleted and I expeceted to find it in @Recycle, that is all.
>>if the "delete files" was not ticked, you can recreate the share and manually look for the storage location
I don't konw where that option is, and again, I don't need to recreate a share anyway.
>>otherwise..backups have should be done
We do take nightly backups, but this was a new file that we were workign on that was accidentally deleted, which ic exeactly what the recycle bin should be for, right?
Except it doesn't seem to work for some reason.

Re: network recycle bin not working
Oh I read you deleted a share not a file in a share .. sorry misread (so forget about the recreate option)
i never got that recycle bin to work unless I used filestation (Web GUI) to delete/move files
Via SMB the recycle bin gets skipped (at least on all my systems) and files get deleted right away

Re: network recycle bin not working
Ok, thanks for confirming, I feel a little less stupid now.
That makes this a very lame feature, doesn't it?!
We mount shares via smb, nfs and afp. I wonder if it is possible to get thi s to work for all those.

Re: network recycle bin not working
Very lame feature indeed. Without support for those, it is basically useless.
As far as I can tell, this works if you set highest SMB version to 2.1 in the advanced Microsoft Networking settings in the Win/Mac/NFS section. It doesn't seem to work with SMB 3 for some odd reason.

Re: network recycle bin not working
Thanks. The nfs and afp mounts are actually the most important ones for us, the SMB mount is only used by an IT box to serve up various things to the rest of the network.

Re: network recycle bin not working
Even Apple now recommends people use SMB over AFP. Unless you have something which absolutely requires the use of AFP (Time Machine does not anymore, it works over SMB) I'd drop the AFP and go with SMB instead. AFP is effectively deprecated by Apple at this point.
